A poor craftsman . . . God is obviously shite at tool use. Probably needed a few more years as an apprentice before he started fucking around with firmaments and stuff. I mean hacking together a whole human out of cutoffs? Just pony up and order more stock, cheapskate.

Bandcamp is not banned in the UK yet. But i think the government has strong intelligence that they are a terrorist organisation.

Demagogues like to reduce complex problems to a binary choice, so they can label one as righteous and the other as witchcraft . If they find something complex, they create an arbitrary (and often flexible) dividing line. That’s their method of creating fear, hate and fervent support for their case to have power.

Will any economic system necessarily succumb to demagoguery? maybe, it is a depressing thought. But I do think they’re more like cyclical memes. They’re not very stable societies - fear is a great short term motivator, but not so in the longer term - so they probably don’t last too long, but may rear their ugly heads after enough people forgot how bad they were. And short term might be 10-20 years in this context.

There are always socialist and individualist elements with any society or economy, such as between partners, families, neighborhoods, within small businesses, between vendors and buyers, or small teams within larger businesses. I think most large armies are ran similar to socialist dictatorships at the top level - at least the ones based on soldier’s labour, but there will be individualistic parts within, like ‘you look after your own sidearm’. Just like there are always private and individualistic elements within each of those groups, the types of relationships between people and businesses are never as simple as black and white, trust matters, legal system matters, past experience matters, ability to demonstrate ‘skin in the game’ matters, expectations about the future matters (reciprocity), observability/transparency matters, the possibility of free ridership, the benefits of free ridership, the emergence of standards and so on. All of these things influence some economic and social interactions to appear more ’ social’ in some cases, and more ‘individual’ in others.

Certainly two party democracies are basically set up for the top level to disintegrate into demagogic shit slinging about ‘our side’ vs ‘their side’, but real people and businesses will always have a diversity of types of behaviour and relationships - and I really don’t believe you can genuinely classify any economy (a collaboration of people) as ‘left’ or ‘right’ or ‘socialist’ or ‘individualist’.

Their “leaders” might well call them that though.

In no plural-hollytree, there can be only one.

I assumed it meant he has comfortable shoes, so he can walk out of the door at any time.

I assume they have MS dev accounts to help with stuff like building compatibility with microdick file formats.

I’m tired.

I think it’s the fire thing that is really their killer feature. So to speak.

I think you mean they went to Y’aIl.
